he appeared more mature
July 8, 2019: At first I was concerned because he was eight and staying overnight for the first time, but when I picked him up on the last day he appeared more mature and had more confidence in his skills. Also, it was great to see that the coaching staff recognized his progress; rewarding him with the Most Improved Player in his age group. He loved the camp and the staff.

My son's first overnight camp experience was excellent.
August 1, 2016: Great staff! My son was nervous about not knowing anyone and not having a room mate. The player that showed us to his dorm room did a good job of starting a conversation. The dorms seem to be in good condition and my son said the food was good. The interaction from the coaching staff with him will be his most memorable experience. He is looking forward to coming out this fall to watch the players that coached him play as well as the asst coach that will be coaching this fall. Overall experience for his first overnight camp was excellent. We plan on telling more people in the Charlotte area about it next year!

The coaches went above and beyond.
August 1, 2016: My son enjoyed the camp. The coaches went above and beyond to make it a positive experience for these young men. He attended two basketball camps at Wingate this summer and enjoyed the staff at both camps. For a four day camp with young players it sounds like the intensity was at the right level.
